01What it does

What M-Pac Cleveland does

Mission

Outreach, Awareness and Advocacy regarding gun violence. Mission: to uplift, encourage, and inspire healing by offering resources and spiritual guidance to those who are surviving a new normal because of gun violence

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Programs

  1. Gun Violence Awareness Month - Pray 4 Justice Vigil and Resource event, a Survivor Walk, and billboard ads. We used billboard ads to encourage using the Crime Stoppers tip line to report information on open homicide cases. Eighty people participated and we reached another 50 individuals via canvassing and direct contact. In partnership with Crime Survivors for Safety & Justice (CSSJ), 10 M-PAC members travelled to Washington DC for Survivor Speak 2024. Attendees conversed with other survivors, shared stories, received information for healing, supported policy changes surrounding crime and gun violence, and attended meetings with law makers. We orchestrated and executed 32 activities and events with 520 attendees and total reach exceeding 3400 people. This includes four community forums and engaged grassroots canvassing where we shared information on the voting process and upcoming elections.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 70% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of M-PAC CLEVELAND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

M-PAC CLEVELAND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 70% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

95% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund M-PAC CLEVELAND.

Where its funders are

70% of M-PAC CLEVELAND's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $39k that is directly attributable, 53% of it comes from funders outside Ohio, across 2 states.

OH

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $90k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
